What is organizational effectiveness?
Simply put, organizational effectiveness is making sure you and your team have the right tools at the right time to seamlessly execute and deliver results. In a study published in the Harvard Business Review, the authors identified four building blocks to creating effective execution:
-
Clarifying decision-rights
-
Designing information flow
-
Aligning motivators
-
Making changes to structure
Over years of research, they learned that the most important traits of organizational effectiveness dealt with decision-making rights and information flow. These two traits are directly tied to the ways in which a leader and their leadership team work together.
Effective days make effective leaders.
Effective leaders make effective teams.
Effective teams deliver results.
